Simple answer: no. The ali file contains the version of the compiler
that was used, and the binder will refuse a unit from a different version.
Now, if you are in a desperate situation, you can try and edit the ali
file to fool the binder (it is a plain text file, and quite easy to
understand). Who knows? If you are very lucky, it might even work...
